Effects of diatom concentration in prepared feeds on growth and energy budget of the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus (Selenka)

Eight test diets were used in the experiment: seven fresh diatom (Cylindrotheca fusiformis) diets in which diatom occupied 100%, 83.3%, 50%, 33.3%, 20%, 14.3% and 11.1% in dry matter of the feeds (marked as D100, D83, D50, D33, D20, D14 and D11), and a formulated diet (70% Sargassum thunbergii powder, 20% sea mud and 10% fish meal, based on dry weight, marked as ST). The results showed that the specific growth rates (SGRs) of the animals fed diets D33, D20, D14 and D11 were not significantly different from the SGR of those fed diet ST. However, the energy allocated to growth for the animals fed with diet D14 was twice that of diet ST. For sea cucumbers fed diet D14 the largest expenditure part was allocated to respiration (55.4%), but for those fed diet ST, the largest part was allocated to faeces (62.7%). The organic content of diet D14 was also much lower than that of diet ST. Frozen diatom diets containing 14% (dry matter weight) fresh diatom could be an environmentally friendly feed as an alternative option for macroalgae powder.     

NaCl胁迫对不同染色体倍性西瓜种子发芽特性的影响

用盐水浸种催芽方法,通过对蜜枚西瓜的二倍体、三倍体、四倍体在不同浓度NaCl胁迫下种子的发芽率、胚轴长度以及鲜重、发芽指数、活力指数等指标的测定,在30~90mmol/L低浓度下,倍性之间相对发芽率没有明显差异;在120 mmol/L以上浓度时,不同倍性之间差异明显,在150mmol/L NaCl胁迫下,其M4x、M3x、M2x相对发芽率分别为77.8%、63.4%、30.6%,180mmol/L时分别为37.8%、31.7%、0,在210mmol/L时,M4x和M3x仍然有种子萌发,耐盐性为M4x＞M3x＞M2x。     

适宜压力条件保持减压贮藏杏鲍菇品质

为了探讨不同压力对杏鲍菇减压贮藏品质的影响,以杏鲍菇为试材,采用0.07 mm的低密度聚乙烯袋抽真空减压包装,置于4℃下贮藏,研究杏鲍菇在0.10、0.06、0.04、0.02 MPa 4个压力条件下生理生化及品质的变化规律。结果表明:相对于常压(0.10 MPa),0.06、0.04 MPa在不同程度上可降低杏鲍菇子实体的呼吸强度,保持超氧化物歧化酶(superoxide dismutase,SOD)、过氧化氢酶(catalase,CAT)活性,抑制膜脂过氧化产物丙二醛(malondialdehyde,MDA)含量的升高,延缓杏鲍菇子实体的衰老进程,抑制多酚氧化酶(polyphenol oxidase,PPO)活性,保持杏鲍菇的色泽,以及杏鲍菇的硬度、弹性、内聚性、咀嚼性等质地品质。其中0.04MPa相对于其他压力贮藏效果较佳。0.02 MPa使杏鲍菇的生理生化及品质变化出现了异常。由此可得,适当压力范围内减压贮藏可以有效延缓杏鲍菇的成熟与衰老进程,较好地保持其品质,有效延长其贮藏期。     

Achieving food and nutritional security through agroforestry: a case of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Faidherbia albida</Emphasis> in sub-Saharan Africa

Faidherbia albida is an ideal agroforestry tree commonly intercropped with annual crops like millet and groundnuts in the dry and densely populated areas of Africa. With its peculiar reverse phenology, it makes growth demands at a different time from that of crops. In addition, it deposits great amount of organic fertilizer on food crops. Leaves entering soils are comparable to fertilization of almost 50 t·ha 1 ·year 1 of manure in dense stands of 50 large trees per ha. These nutrients help maximize agricultural production and reduce the need for a fallow period on poorer soils. Research has shown that millet grown under F. albida yielded 2.5 and 3.4 fold increases in grain and protein, respectively. Animals eat pods which contain mean amounts of crude protein of 20.63% and carbohydrate of 40.1% in seeds. Moreover, the continued existence of F. albida in agroforestry parklands as in Ethiopia and Mali signifies the success of traditional conservation measures. Modern scientists have also developed much interest in the role of agroforestry in maintaining long-term biological balance between agriculture and livestock production systems. To ensure food security, which still remains a major challenge in sub-Saharan Africa, and concurrently minimize environmental degradation, promotion of agroforestry that specifically involves indigenous trees is crucial. We discuss the prospective role of F. albida in alleviating poverty while simultaneously protecting the environment from factors associated with, for example, deforestation and loss of biodiversity. The overall aim is to promote wide-scale adoption of F. albida as a valuable tree crop in farming systems, particularly in those areas where it remains unexploited.     

濒危植物毛柄小勾儿茶生境特征研究

通过对小勾儿茶Berchemiella wilsonii的变种毛柄小勾儿茶Berchemiella wilsonii(Schneid.)Nakai var.pubipetiolata H.Qian的实地调查,对其分布概况、生境特性以及种群生存概况等方面进行了分析。结果表明:(1)毛柄小勾儿茶主要分布于安徽省霍山县马家河、舒城县万佛山和浙江省临安市湍口乡、临安市马啸乡等地。常见分布于沟边、路边、悬崖峭壁的向阳面。(2)毛柄小勾儿茶对水分及光照的要求较高,喜温暖湿润气候,成年植株主要分布在群落最高层,其幼苗耐荫性差,难以在郁闭度高的林内生长。(3)毛柄小勾儿茶种子大都落在树旁,缺乏有效传播方式,且种子未熟先落,95%无活性,导致极其缺乏幼苗。毛柄小勾儿茶生态位十分狭窄,是群落的伴生种或偶见种,缺乏群落竞争力。毛柄小勾儿茶数量已极其稀少,建议加大保护力度,加快对种子成熟生理机制的研究,提高种子活性。或是探索有效的规模化繁育技术,进行人工抚育小苗,扩大种群数量。     

不同温度对杏鲍菇减压贮藏品质的影响

为了研究减压贮藏条件下杏鲍菇的适宜贮藏温度,以杏鲍菇为试材,采用0.07 mm厚的低密度聚乙烯袋抽真空至0.06 MPa减压包装后,分别置于0、2、4、6和8℃下贮藏,研究了不同贮藏温度对减压贮藏条件下杏鲍菇的生理生化及品质的影响。结果表明:2、4℃较好地保持了杏鲍菇超氧化物歧化酶(superoxide dismutase,SOD)(P0.01)、过氧化氢酶(catalase,CAT)活性(P0.05),有效抑制了丙二醛(malondialdehyde,MDA)含量的上升(P0.01),降低了呼吸强度(P0.01),延缓了杏鲍菇子实体的衰老进程,较好地保持了杏鲍菇的硬度、弹性、内聚性和咀嚼性;降低了杏鲍菇的多酚氧化酶(polyphenol oxidase,PPO)活性(P0.01),有效抑制了杏鲍菇的褐变,较好地保持了杏鲍菇的色泽(P0.01)。因此,2~4℃为杏鲍菇减压贮藏条件下的适宜贮藏温度,有效延缓了杏鲍菇的后熟衰老进程,延长了杏鲍菇的贮藏期,从而为杏鲍菇的贮藏保鲜提供理论依据和技术方法。
